With a "good start", BAIC Group strives to "run with acceleration". Since the beginning of 2022, facing the multi-point spread of the domestic pandemic, tight supply of chips and other impacts, BAIC Group has actively implemented the major decisions and arrangements of the Central Committee of C.P.C and the State Council and the work requirements of Beijing Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government. In the first quarter, it achieved steady performance growth, and its main indicators operated steadily, and its output value in Beijing exceeded the planned output value by 10%. 

It was inseparable from the strong leadership of Beijing Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government to achieve a "good start" in the first quarter. Since the first quarter, BAIC has made careful deployment and implemented it rapidly throughout the system. While taking strict measures to prevent and control the pandemic, all the staff have worked hard to overcome difficulties, grasp supply and ensure production and sales. They have spared no effort to support the steady development of economy and society in Beijing, and practiced the responsibilities and duties of economic pillar enterprises in the capital.

01 For Guaranteed Supply, They Went Retrograde.

At the beginning of 2022, the COVID-19 pandemic spread in many places in China. The impact on auto enterprises brought by the COVID-19 pandemic was the delay of spare parts supply. If the supply is not steady, it will be difficult to carry out production. Faced with the difficulties, BAIC Group's guaranteed supply system took actions. With the efficient overall support of Beijing and local government departments, it went retrograde and started a war for guaranteed spare parts supply.

"Never let a piece of goods stay in the risk area, and it must be delivered to customers on time!" Zhongdu Logistics of BAIC Rocar made a military order and quickly took actions. They established a commando team of Party members and a guaranteed supply project team, refined the division of labor and maneuvered. To solve problems as quickly as possible and improve the efficiency of logistics, they organized the business operation team to work all day long on site, and coordinated all kinds of resources on site. Through the application of digital platform, they established a transportation resource pool of "drivers + vehicle sources" to quickly identify risks and solve problems. They used the temporary transit warehouses and sites to solve the storage problem of off-line finished vehicles and emergency pick-up parts. The parts logistics department of BAIR CCS even directly set up a pandemic prevention and control closed-cycle management point at an inspection station for those going to Beijing. They confirmed and registered the information of people entering and leaving at the entrance to the distribution center to ensure that the track of people in the distribution center can be traced. Meanwhile, they arranged special personnel to check the pandemic prevention seals of vehicles to ensure that the whole process of transportation was carried out in a closed cycle. 

Hainachuan, a parts platform company of BAIC Group, quickly went through the information channels with the Group, customers, local government departments, suppliers and member enterprises, established information connections at the first time, grasped complete information at the first time, and quickly took response measures at the first time… By real-time rolling update and sharing of information and full exploration of superior resources of different regions and different subjects in the supply chain, they collected and summarized the resources. Meanwhile, they also set up a mobile logistics team consisting of 20 logistics vehicles and 40 drivers, which quickly put mobile resources into weak links according to risk point identification and early warning to promote efficient problem solving.

Not only the logistics and parts manufacturers but also the complete vehicle manufacturers and guaranteed supply departs of BAIC Group worked selflessly. In BAIC Foton, BAIC Bluepark, BAIC Off-Road, Beijing Benz, Beijing Hyundai …the employees of the logistics and procurement departments were equipped with 48-hour nucleic acid detection reports every day. They were on standby for business trips at any time. On days when they were not on business trips, they kept a close eye on the logistics dynamics of guaranteed supply almost 24 hours a day. They were still actively interacting with suppliers and continuously updating the information of parts supply in the guaranteed supply group of WeChat in their cell phones at three or four o'clock in the morning.

"When you encounter difficulties, you must never “lie flat on the spot”. As long as you “run”, there must be the possibility of breaking the situation and making a breakthrough." This is the thinking of BAIC guaranteed supply personnel, and it is also their retrograde attitude.

02 For Steady Production They Stick to the "Battlefield".

On the other hand, they tracked key models, aligned the production factors of each base, and further sped up the delivery rhythm ... With people as the responsibility subject and day as the timing unit, this battle of BAIC citizens was busy and ceaseless.
